He threatened to trade players one deadline if they didn’t show anything and then we stunk it up and he traded nobody.
Feaster was a disaster through and through. Thank god Brad Richards didn’t sign here.

Feaster inherited a team with the worst collection of under-26 players and prospects in the NHL. And there's no way the decision on whether to rebuild was left in Feaster's hands. Not with Murray Edwards and Ken King running the show. It's hard to blame Feaster for the return on Iginla when Iginla gave him a list of only four teams he'd accept a trade to, and then put the kibosh on a trade to one of those teams at the last minute.
